Question

The given reaction
$2FeC{l}_3+SnC{l}_2\to 2FeC{l}_2+SnC{l}_4$
Is an example of:

• A. Third order reaction
• B. First order reaction
• C. Second order reaction
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Third order reaction

For the third order reaction, the general reaction can be written as,

$A+B+C\to Productsr=K_3{\left[A\right]}^2{\left[B\right]}^1$

$r={\left[Fe{Cl}_2\right]}^2{\left[Sn{Cl}_4\right]}^1$

the order of products are third order.
